Entomopathogenic nematode symbiotic bacteria (EPNB) enhance nematode insecticidal capacity through symbiosis. This study cloned the complete 32-kb type III secretion system (T3SS) gene cluster from TT01 using Red/ET recombineering and functionally expressed it in T3SS-deficient HN_xs01. Heterologous T3SS expression significantly enhanced HN_xs01 adhesion and invasion capabilities in CF-203 cells.

Background: The brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) axis is a communication network through which the brain and gastrointestinal microbiota interact via neural, hormonal, immune, and gene expression mechanisms. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is thought to contribute to neurocognitive disorders, including perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), and to various metabolic abnormalities. Recently, we reported that sevoflurane induces neurocognitive deficits in exposed rats as well as their future offspring, with male offspring being particularly affected (intergenerational PND).

Thermotolerant yeasts promoting climate-resilient bioproduction.

FEMS Yeast Res

September 2025

Department of Bioengineering, School of Life Science Engineering, College of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.

The growing challenges posed by global warming and the demand for sustainable food and feed resources underscore the need for robust microbial platforms in bioprocessing. Thermotolerant yeasts have emerged as promising candidates due to their ability to thrive at elevated temperatures and other industrially relevant stresses. This review examines the industrial potential of thermotolerant yeasts in the context of climate change, emphasizing how their resilience can lead to more energy-efficient and cost-effective bioprocesses.

Enterotoxigenic (ETEC), a leading cause of diarrhea, is defined by heat-stable (ST) and/or heat-labile (LT) toxins and associated colonization factors (CFs). However, there is still a knowledge gap in understanding ETEC's evolution, particularly in endemic regions like Bangladesh. This study investigates the genomic attributes contributing to the rise of ETEC-associated diarrhea in Bangladesh during 2022-2023.

Human-associated metagenomic data often contain human nucleic acid information, which can affect the accuracy of microbial classification or raise ethical concerns. These reads are typically removed through alignment to the human genome using various metagenomic mapping tools or human reference genomes, followed by filtration before metagenomic analysis. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify the optimal combination of alignment software and human reference genomes using benchmarking data.
